ooh lovely, yes and I see what you meant about the lighter tweed with a dark horse. Thank you for your advice.

He has his feathers clipped off usually, would this be a massive problem? and his mane is very thick and pulled all the same length, probably about 6 inches long. Thank you for all of your advice :)

oops, like I say, I am a bit of a showing novice! Are there any other classes that would be suitable? Thanks

Hi all I am a bit of a showing novice but I am hoping to do a few little shows over winter ready for next season. I ride a Black 15.1 Welsh D who is relatively clipped and pruned, think he is too trimmed for M&M classes, but thinking of trying some hunter classes or riding horse classes...

Thank you for the response. i completely agree, I'd hate to think I was being too harsh when trying to get him to stop, so want something I can use sparingly that he has more respect of. He puts his head up although not a significant amount, but I'd say the problem was more that he completely...

Thanks for the response, yes 99% of the time he works brilliantly in the snaffle, just for XC and hunting the excitement gets too much and I become just a passenger. Perhaps a different mouthpiece on occasion would be beneficial, such as a Waterford like you've suggested. Thanks again

I have always used a hanging cheek single joint for my cobby welsh. As he has gotten fitter I've found it increasingly more difficult to get his attention in exciting situations! Can anyone recommend a bit that is not harsh but may just get him listening to me a bit more please? Thanks:)

Hi all :) I always used to ride my horse in a hanging cheek snaffle for everything, but as he got fitter and stronger I did find he had less respect for the bit in certain exciting situations! So after debating what to try we tried a Waterford Loose ring snaffle to see if he respected that...

I have a Pikeur fitted jacket which has a grey tweed pattern (although not tweed material) I always wear my Pony Club Tie with it for whatever I do, SJ or dressage as I think it looks quite smart with the jacket. I only do unaffiliated SJ and dressage, but this summer I am on area level SJ...

I have recently tried a Waterford Snaffle for my chunky cob who just didnt respect his snaffle mouthpiece, so when i was riding if he wanted to keep going i had no say whatsoever! He respects the waterford a lot more, so i feel better as i hated having to pull him around :) dont think this is...

I have some white Dublin Supafit jods, which id definitely recommend :) think they were about £24 very comfy and worn really well, infact just bought a second pair to use for shows as i got a few stains on my first pair because i wore them so much!

Thank you for your advice :)
